The Ramsey Town Board was urged to press Upper Saddle River authorities to permit the installation of a traffic light at Lake Street and Route 2, now Route 17. Councilman Baker complained that when traffic is heavy he had to go down to Allendale and use the light there to cross the highway. Councilman F. D. Haring said that the request for a light at the busy intersection had been held up by opposition from some Upper Saddle River residents. Mayor Gertzen was urged to get in touch with Upper Saddle River Mayor E. R. Tilley to work out the dispute. Councilman Baker stated that “if there is justification for a light at Allendale Avenue there certainly is for one at Lake Street”. (Bristow)
